Multicast Routes parameters
Digi TransPort routers support multicast routes, allowing them to route packets to multicast
group addresses. Up to 20 different static multicast routes may be configured.
Static multicast routes must be used in conjunction with the IGMP parameter on the outbound
interface. For example, after configuring a static multicast route for multicast traffic via PPP 1, the
IGMP parameter in
Configuration > Network > Interfaces > IGMP
must be set to
On
. Multicast
routing is configured using a table with the following parameters.
Multicast Address a.b.c.d
This parameter is used in conjunction with the
Mask
parameter below, to specify the
destination multicast group address for packets that will match this route. So, if a router
receives a packet with a destination multicast group address that matches the specified
Multicast Address/Mask
combination, it will route that packet through the interface
specified by the Interface parameters below.
Mask a.b.c.d
The address mask that is used in conjunction with the
Multicast Address
parameter as
described above.
Interface x,y
These two parameters in the drop-down list and adjacent text box specify the interface and
interface instance used to route packets matching the
Multicast Address/Mask
combination.
The options available in the drop-down list are;
PPP
,
Ethernet
,
Tunnel
.
